From past experiences I know a lot of people go by usernames because they don't want their personal info out there. I'm not sure I've ever seen this commented at the beginning of any thread. If you're comparing this to "in before delete" you're way off. I don't think this is delete worthy at all.

What's depressing is that you have only 830 mgopoints in 7 years. If Lord Grantham had started that long ago he would have more points than Brian, lsa2000 and WD combined. Are you still working under the old point system where they are harder to come by?

Also, did lord Grantham get ban hammered?

I am from the metro-NY area.  Attended Michigan from 1994-1998 (yup, senior year was amazing).

I played HS hockey, and since football wasn't all that popular with HS kids when I was growing up, didn't give a crap about football until I attended my first game at the big house.  Then I was hooked.

Hobbies include anything Michigan football related and weight lifting.  I am fairly obsessed with my two boys (7 and 3) and have already taken them to two games at the Big House.

How did your 3 year old (and you) handle going to the game? Did you have to leave early? Did you bring other things along to keep him occupied? Did he want to run around instead of watch? 

I have a 3 year old and would like to take him to events but want to make sure it is worth it for everyone.

Very well, where do I begin? My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet.

My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament.

My childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds- pretty standard really.

At the age of twelve I received my first scribe. At the age of fourteen a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles. There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum... it's breathtaking- I highly suggest you try it.

I had a dream last night that involved Brian and mGrowOld. Nothing weird...we just boozed, watched a Michigan bball game, and crashed at Brian's place.  So yeah, it was really weird.  I think i'm going on an mgohiatus for a bit.

Funny, yet not story: Listed at 6'5" 290 in high school (Five FAKES out of Five).  Walked-on at Toledo and was measured at 6'4" 270.  Stood next to Andy Katzenmoyer who measured 6'3" at the combine and was WAY taller than me (even taking cleats into account).  Must mean that 6'5" is the new 6'0"!

Speaking of teacher connections, one of my high school English teachers graduated with Madonna. Easy to forget the age of celebrities, but it's weird seeing Madonna the sex symbol and then her classmate, a gray-haired woman well into middle age. Amazing what you can do with botox, photoshopping, and an army of people whose job is to make you look good.

Maizenblue92 is an account that is co-used by twin brothers. We created it way back in '09 when we were in high school and neither one of us wanted to start a new account with 0 Mgopoints. 

Fun story: I saw our fearless leader get yelled at by a guy at the 2012 CCHA championship game. The guy threatened Brian and was eventually kicked out. It was about 10 rows in front of me. 

EDIT: Also I am friends with Alex Cook IRL. We have been friends since our time at Grandville High School.
